JavaJNDI examples of J[2]EE

This example is a modified version of the "hello world" example from
the Java IDL release. (http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/guide/idl/).
It has been modified to use JNDI to access the COS Name Server, instead 
of using the COS Naming package directly.

In the following discussion, assume that you have installed a JDK 1.1
compatible version of Java IDL in the directory $JAVAIDL, or are using
JDK 1.2.

helloClient.java and helloServer.java are the orginal source files.
helloClient2.java and helloServer2.java are modified source files that
use JNDI.

-------------------

In order to run this example, do the following:

1. Start the COS Name Server (default port is 900)

# $JAVAIDL/bin/tnameserv -ORBInitialPort 1050


2. Add IDL, JNDI, and the COS Naming provider to your classpath.

# setenv CLASSPATH $CLASSPATH\:$JAVAIDL/lib/classes.zip\: \
	$JNDI/lib/jndi.jar\:$JNDI/lib/providerutil.jar\:$JNDI/lib/cosnaming.jar

3. Compile the source files.

# cd HelloApp
# javac hello.java _helloStub.java _helloImplBase.java helloHelper.java helloHolder.java
# cd ..
# javac helloClient2.java helloServer2.java


4. Set a variable that tells JNDI to use the COS Naming service provider.

# setenv CF "-Djava.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory"


5. Start the application's server. (use same number or default as nameserv)

# java $CF -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort=1050 helloServer2 


6. Run the application's client.

# java $CF -Dorg.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort=1050 helloClient2
